Huge First down there Brady to Edelman.


Fecking idiots need to stop these penalties.

paulie21

That's why Gronk is the best TE in the league

Yesss get in. What a drive :D:D

Son Of A Vidic

Another huge first down.

paulie21

Good job we didn't cut LaFell now

Gronk, you are a beast.
Best TE in the game, and he's not even close to 100%.

Son Of A Vidic

Safe to say La Fell has Brady's trust now. I doubted him and I'm glad to see him step up so well. Only makes you wonder though, what does Amendola do for this team?

Who is this "Amendola" you speak of?

Ah no, pretty safe to say he's gone at the end of the year.

Bills lose, Fins lose, Jets lose.

Pats now alone at the top.

Take up valuable cap space mostly

paulie21

Happy enough with that performance. A few injuries though. Mayo likely gone for the year, Ridley will miss some time, Connolly won't make the Jets game I'd say but Stork should be back for that.


We're on to New York

$6 million being p****d down the drain with him . Week 6, LA Fell has stepped up and improved. Tyms starts his first game and make a great connection with Brady. And yet we still wait for Amendola. Only for his high cap hit, I'd say we be trading him before the trade deadline.

Doubt we would get much value out of him in a trade. Is Mayo's injury that bad?

I honest to God forgot about Amendola until I just read back the thread there. I was there thinking how great it was to see Tyms get his TD, Lafell with his pair, and the TE's and WR's connecting with Brady and all producing. And then there was Amendola.

Didn't see the first half and didn't see a lot of the second thanks to Gamepass crap. No idea what happened Mayo but all this talk is worrying me.

Mayo left the game on a cart and the stadium on crutches. Mike Reiss reporting a knee injury so guessing torn mcl

Wonderful.:(

If it's an MCL, then it sounds like a grade three which could put him out for 8 weeks. But if the ACL has some involvement, that's his season over. Only speculating, but it doesn't sound good.

AbusesToilets

balls to that, shades of last season there. Defense starts off strongly and gets gutted by injury

Son Of A Vidic

Oh Christ just saw this...

Run game will be decimated if we lose Ridley, he's the only run it down your throat RB we have. He'll be a massive lost.

Well we can hope that its only some sort of strain or sprain and something that just requires some rest. We missed him badly when he went down last season, don't want to be without him again.

Whats going on? Everybody is going down after that game.

He will be a big loss but I like Vereen on all downs and Bolden can do a job too. We certainly won't be as good but Vereen can take on a bigger workload and hopefully we can get through the couple of weeks he misses.

You having a laugh? Only job he's up to is losing yardage. Serious competition between him and Amendola for most worthless offensive player.

I have lots of faith in Vereen but not much in Bolden. That said, Bolden has a serious chance now to really show what he can do.

How about James White? Is he ready to step up for a larger role?

He's only had 3 carries this year and I think he hasn't shown anybody what he can do yet. But all the backs reps will now go up.

j8wk2feszrnpao

It was noteworthy tonight that Tom hit LaFell, Gronk and Tyms on the deep ball. Big/tall/long receivers. Not always Edelman.
This needs to continue. Hopefully OC will maintain this.

kryogen

Didn't see any of the game yet, but happy with the result obviously, delighted to hear some of the Td's and some passing connections made but the injuries sound horrible

eagle eye

One of the injuries that least worries me(besides to a backup obv) is to a RB. You just need to be able to establish the run for Tom Brady to do his thing. We used the RBBC approach with success in the past and we can do it again while Ridley is out.

Yes its nice to have a premium RB on your team but its not the end of the world if you lose him for a few games.

As I said earlier, I kinda fancy Vereen as an every down back anyways. I would like to see him get that opportunity. Both Ridley and Vereen will need new contracts shortly and it will be hard to keep both of them. If Vereen can carry the workload then he is the one most likely to get the contract he is looking for.

Son Of A Vidic

Brady went 361 yards for 4 TD's, no Int's and a 73% completion rate. Great to see Brady-like numbers returning. And what makes it a very impressive outing for Brady is, he manged to do that with no effective run game to help and while under some pressure in the pocket.
